When love breaks down

Cantante: Prefab Sprout

My love and I, we work well together
But often we’re apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Till love breaks down, love breaks down
Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
The sweet september rain
Rain on me like no other
Until I drown, until I drown
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell,
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down,
Love breaks down
My love and I, we are boxing clever
She’ll never crowd me out
Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell,
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
You join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down
When love breaks down

Non ci sono video interessanti per questa canzone bellissima. Ci sono solo le parole quasi sussurate da questa voce incrinata dalla disperazione, dalla consapevolezza che l’amore si rompe qualche volta.

Quante volte ho guardato la copertina del disco dei Prefab Sprout (ma che nome è?), mi sono sempre soffermato sul volto di lui, un po’ sfatto, di tre quarti e mi sono lasciato andare dalla musica.
